THE attempted London car bombings were meant to be detonated by calls to mobile phones in the two vehicles, but failed for technical reasons, the Evening Standard reported today.

The calls made on the phones allowed police to trace those behind the failed attacks last Friday, the London daily evening newspaper said, without giving sources.

The phones were meant to set off blasts when they were called, but the devices failed to detonate the mixture of gas canisters and nails in the two Mercedes cars parked in London's entertainment district.

The bombers called the car outside the "Tiger Tiger" nightclub on Haymarket off Piccadilly Circus twice and the car in nearby Cockspur Street off Trafalgar Square four times, it said.

THat is like the guy that tried to blow up the world trade center the first time. He went back to ryder truck to get his deposit back and said his truck was stolen. glad these people are idiots.

[processing please hold]

There is no allah.

[Clara Lou]

They don’t know that.

[Grampa Dave]

Those cheap cell phones bought at a distress sale didn’t work.

Thank God.

Now that hospital in Scotland needs to be searched to see if any phone triggered bombs are hidden in the hospital.

They only have to ask me, I’ll tell ‘em. :)

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I fully expect some leftie to write an article in which he tells the terrorists what went wrong and what they have to do next time to make sure that the bombs work.

They had a great documentary with what I thought was actual footage of the idiot going back to get his deposit for the Ryder Truck.

Then this very muscular FBI agent who was waiting behind a curtain, nabbed the muzzie after he exited the door.

Kudos to that agent. I’m still cheering your bravery and skill.....not to mention all those muscles.

I’ve only seen that one once...perhaps it revealed too much.

It was allah's will.

It is also allah's will that the bombers suffer a terrifying plunge head first off Big Ben's tower.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Here ya go

“Yup — We often forget God’s hand of Providence.
We should all be grateful and thankful that HE hasn’t forgotten us.”

Hand of providence? So all the occasions where the terrorist bomb exploded and killed innocents was when God was rooting for the terrorists? Or was God asleep or on vacation? What we have here is simply a cell of poorly trained terrorists. The next time this happens, we might not be so lucky.

Thanks! Hillarious.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

They should have used a fuse and a match or an alarm clock. They had all the skill of the Three Stooges.

Well, actually, no.

They are nothing less than a pox on civilization.

Not just a pox on civilization. A pox on humanity. A pox on life itself.

Islam is pure evil. As pure a form of evil has has ever been devised on this planet by anyone or any group at anytime, anywhere.
